GIDEON GRINDER.

Gideon Grinder sat out in the world to make
{1 foituiir... " Wisdom" is thepriricipal tiring,"
;,;irili the proverb, '* tlterelore get .\ll5(l0llh”
But he, like most of men, being satisfied with
his acquisitions on this score, chairged the
pliraseology oftlie inaxrrn a lrttle—-Money is
the principal thing, tlrerelore get inoiiey~—was
iris motto ; and he went to work in that llind
ofearirest which a Slllf_'lt.‘l)CS5 of object prodti-
ccs. He had some oltlie very esseirtial qiral
ilicurions too, necessary for SllCCl'SS. He was
ilnrtus.r'iotrs and economical. No doubt the
re..ricr auticipatesthe issue: sees him €’.l!l9l’gt‘
from obscurity, and rise rapidly to afflur-rice;
and thinks it is uririecesstwy to travel lino’ thr-
story. So common is the opiuion——so often
does it indeed happr-n—-that such a beginning
ends favorably. Brit let us proceed.

1itu'usfr_y is a good thing; a very good thing;
an csserrtial requisite, to enable a i1iaii"to get
ziloiig in the world. Observation proves that
sortie very steady, lrard—woiking irien are al-

v

' ways behind lratrd in life, and that oiliers,who

are apparently far more iridnlent in their nab-
its, inake riioirey and thrive. Ecoiioiriy too lS
a very coninron road to -wealth ; brrt we see
sortie ll_\,lllg to save, all their lives long, and
actually saving nothing, \\ hrleothers, who are
(:0n.pal‘allVely prodigi,-l, do well in the end -—
Tlre secret is all here; it requires a head as
well as hands to get along ;wisdom to plan as
well as energy to exectite--—for

A heart to labor and a In-art to plan-

These constitute the irroiiey-iiiaki-ig iuan.

Gideon had been educated a shop keeper,
in his f}:tlier’s store, and when the old iirair di
ed Stepped at once into his business. Old M r.
Grinder was not one or your " all or uotliiiig”
'50,-1 gfnreir-——wlro make or break at a dasli ;
he went on siirootli and slow ; swept clean as
he went. ; paid his debts ; and did an honest
business on .. small scale. Noliody was fur-
ther from being, mean, and yet he was ii frugal
liver; notafraid ofspeiidirrg a penny; and
yet looking vrel. to out goes too; in short, he
was not one of those who turn all their alteri-
tion to saving the drops from the spiggot,
wliile attire satire tin'ie_ quarts are escaping
from the hung. He might on the strengtli of
his credit have dashed out largely in business,
and done as many people now do; but he pre-
ferred the. certainty ofa .‘~.lllE1lllJllSlllCS§, to the
clranccs of a large one. He might havetold
great stoiirs; and professed to accoinrnodate
customers at a sacrifice; to sell for less than
cost ; and set a hundred traps, coirrinori in his
day, to catch custom ; but he had grown up
hand in lrand with honesty; anti used to say
he would never quarrel with so good a frrciid
in his old age. Gideon therefore had a wot‘
thy example, but the fathcr’s mantle does not
always fall on the son.

The young man indeed. came out into the
woild with many if his father’s good liahits Lki.
opinioris : he disliltcd credit ; guarded agtrinst
*.virs,',_e ; and had no disposition to “ show i-ff.”
But in avoiding these dangers, he fell into the
oirtwgite extreme, a irarrnw, contracted. sci
fish way ofdoing business, which followed
him, and fritter-ed him down till he had no
more heart than a herring.

The first role he established was to do what
he called, a snug business ; that is to keep no
articles on hand which were not ready sale ;
he had no idea that there was airy advairiagr:
in having a great variety ; it only lunibered
the store; was dead capital; and attended
with more or less waste. Standing by itself,
this was a good argument; but as «.-any peo-
ple prefer calling where every thing, ordina-
ry and extra rrdinary may he had, whetirer
they want an urrcoinuion article or not, the
.'.ule operated badly. .

Again it Setflnlid to lirrir perfectly plain,
that nothing was made on many articlcs,whrch
were necessarily sold for irear about cost ; and
that no sensible man would take labour in at
profitless business. He consequently reduced
his ‘rIs5~Jfl.Illelll under this hcad—aiid reduced
the custom ofthe storejust in proporliori.—
"I“nus his two first inlcs, though at first sight
ihey appeared fouirded in good sense, proved
in practice worthless, and even worse.

He held to exact dealing; and took great
:are never to weigh or iueasure out a grain
too much ; he was a very nice calculator in
these things , but was honest ; very honest to
himself and his customers could never charge
him with dishonesty to them. In the inane;
ofchange too, he was a scrupulous rrian; took
thirteen cents to the elevenpenny bit, &z. seven
to the fippence, conceiving ll.C lialfpence anil
fartliiirgs as hisjustdtic ; and in all such irrat-
ters saved a little as he went; pridiirg himself
much on his superior dexterity in these mat-
tcrs to his father, who always gave the odds
against himself, and as Gilbert used to say,
lost a pretty penny in that way.

Generally, as he did not aim at it, so he did
not, of course, obtain the character of a very
accoininotlaliirg dealer. Number one was at-
ways ll[Jl)l:l'i’l)(JSl.’ He wanted to be paid for

2-

’ _ _ ltlrlititt; to make money orit of every boa?‘--—

; -' hi- disposition which, by the way. is
ct.-til-~ «ii eiinnglr in the wurlrl.he was not care-
ful to cloak ; "people saw it all, ario liked him
none the better for it.

Ii’s air easy thing to niake money ifyou go
the right way to work; and so it’s easy to
in-ake an egg stand one end when you l"l'dV€'
discovered the secret. Brit in all these things
the great mass of their fall. Sotrre try to
inakoa lbrluilr too fast ; others too sure-—Gil-
bert’s plan was the "last one; he ventured no-
thing and won nothing.

The catastrophe which was seen approach-
ing soon after Gilbert began the world, was
slow in coining ; bill it came. flir shop was
in time deserted, and while his neighl)otirs_en-
grossed his business, he looked on" with won-
der; but clrarged all the error‘ on other heads
than his owl. the place: the times ; thepeo
ple ; were at fault. In the end he shut up thé
old estahlislrriierrt, having just kept his head
above water one dozen years. Leaving the
history ofliis example to those who have dis-
cernment enough to profit by it.

The following story, says the Spectator, re-
minds us of the terror with which the first
sieariiboat inspired the ll0ll('SlDUl.ClllllCll along
the banks of the Hudson,&L the skippers upon
the river, ‘as related in Coldcn’s Life of Ful-
ton. VVhile at Tritridad——

Sir Ralph \Vootlford told us, that when this
sleniner was first started, he and a large party,
asa mode of patronizing the irirdertaltiiig,
topk a trip ofpleasnre in her tlrro’ some oftlie
Bncas into the main ocean. Almost every
one got sick outside, and as they returned
through the Bocca Graiitle, there was no one
on deck but the man at the helm and himself.
When they were in the middle ofthe pass--
ue1G,£lSlllElllpllV2ii€8l, such as cnrninoiily iii-
fested the gnlfduriiig the troubles in Colom
bra, was sec-.ii inaking all sail for the shore of
Trinidrid. Ht-rcoirrse secured unaccotinta
blc, but what was their‘ surprise, when they
observed that on hearing the coast the priva-
teer never tacketl, and finally that she ran
herself directlyoir short‘, her crew at the same
tinreleapirigoiri over the hows and sides of
the vessel, and scatirpi-ring off, as it they were
triad, some up the uioiinlaiirs and others into
the. thickets. This was so strange ii siglri,tliat
Sir Ralph lVoodlord ordered the lreliiisirran
In steer for the privalec-r, that he riiight dis
cover the cause ofit. When they came close
the vessel appeared deserted ; Sir Ralph went
.in board of her, and zifter searching V‘.rTl()llS
parts without finding any one,he at long“ o-
penetl it little side cabin and saw a man lying
.on a that evidently with some broken liirib.—-—
This man in-rile an effort to put himself in
posture of snpplication; lie was pale as ash» ~.
his teeth chartered and his hair sttiotl on elm.
" l\'.llS8l‘l(.'0l‘(lllll inisericor'(lial Ave Maria 3”
ftilr’ered forth the Coloinbiitii. Sir Ralph
r-sited the roan what was the cause of the
strange conductoftlie crew ; “ Misericoi‘dia !”
was the only reply.

“ Do you know who I am ?” said the Go
veirior.

It was a coizsidt-rable tiiiie b-‘:..'oi‘e the fellow
could be brouglit back to his senses, when lrw

All his ends were public ends,
And the arts~by which he so’t to obtain them
Were manly arts.
He deserted no friends when they“ ere assail’di
And he united liiinselfwith no enelllles
For the sake of iiicrezising his own power.

And in the discussion nfriioinentous questions

He treated its iireiirbers

And by such conduct he iriade them so.

addresses to a Miss Carlisle, against the wish
ofher father, weirt rather late to the dwelling
oftlie latter, and wishing to speak with the
young lady, endeavored to call her to the wiri-
duw. She heard him but with great agita-
tion desired him to withdraw, for if her father
should find liiiri there, lregwould certainly kill
him. This conversation ‘alarmed the sister
